IBM PowerVC v2.2 Administrator Specialty (S2000-024) Practice Exam

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Cloisterwood Bank is installing PowerVC on a management host. Which installation approach fits?

1. Skip prerequisites and ignore host and storage registration
2. Install on an unsupported OS and hope it runs
3. Follow the v2.2 installation prerequisites (supported OS, resources, network), run the PowerVC installer, then complete initial configuration — host registration, storage connectivity, and fabric registration — before onboarding workloads
4. Install on a laptop for production use

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Wickenfield Insurance must register a host for management. Which host-connectivity approach fits?

1. Register the host via NovaLink or HMC per the supported topology, provide the appropriate credentials, and verify the host shows healthy in the PowerVC console before onboarding its VMs
2. Register a host that PowerVC does not support
3. Skip host registration and manage ad hoc
4. Share one HMC across unrelated clusters with no isolation

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Fellingwood Retail configures a storage template for deployments. Which configuration step fits?

1. Define a storage template with the appropriate storage provider, tier, and attributes so deployments use consistent storage characteristics — avoiding ad-hoc choices per deployment
2. Let each deployment pick storage randomly
3. Skip storage templates and configure storage by hand per VM
4. Use one giant template for every workload regardless of characteristics

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Brecklefield Utilities must capture a VM as a reusable deployment image. Which image-management approach fits?

1. Copy VM disks by hand and hope the result is usable
2. Use PowerVC’s capture-VM function to create an image in the catalog, including Activation Engine scripts for first-boot customization, so later deployments start from a known configuration
3. Skip image capture and build every VM from scratch
4. Capture the VM but skip Activation Engine scripts

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Garfholm Pharmaceuticals wants to version images to track operating-system patch levels. Which image-catalog approach fits?

1. Version images in an unrelated external spreadsheet
2. Keep one image forever with no versioning
3. Delete old images the moment a new one is captured without checking what uses them
4. Maintain versioned images with clear labels (OS level, patch level, hardening state) and retire older images per a documented retention policy

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Stobbington Logistics must customize VMs at first boot (hostname, network, post-install steps). Which capability fits?

1. Rely on golden images with no first-boot logic
2. Manually SSH into every new VM to run customization commands
3. Skip first-boot customization and accept generic defaults
4. Embed Activation Engine scripts in the captured image so first-boot logic runs automatically on newly deployed VMs, with parameters supplied at deployment time

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Wharfhollow Bank wants to place workloads on hosts with specific capabilities. Which placement approach fits?

1. Manually pick a host each deployment
2. Define host groups matching the required capabilities and configure placement policies so deployments target the appropriate host groups — using PowerVC’s placement surface rather than manual host selection
3. Let deployments land anywhere randomly
4. Skip host grouping entirely

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Hagerford Finance runs multiple tenant workloads on shared infrastructure. Which deployment approach fits?

1. Put every tenant in a single namespace
2. Use multi-tenant projects to scope resources, placement, and access per tenant, so tenants do not see each other’s VMs or contend for each other’s capacity
3. Give every tenant administrator-level access across projects
4. Skip multi-tenancy and run one tenant per environment

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Brockholm Shipping must automate VM provisioning as part of a CI/CD pipeline. Which automation approach fits?

1. Use the PowerVC REST API to script deployments from the pipeline, authenticate via API key or token, and handle responses with appropriate error handling and idempotency
2. Click through the PowerVC UI during every pipeline run
3. Skip automation and manually provision each VM
4. Use an unrelated REST API not supported by PowerVC

A PowerVC v2.2 admin at Felcombe Industrial must integrate PowerVC with the corporate LDAP. Which security configuration fits?

1. Share one admin account across all users
2. Maintain local PowerVC accounts for every user forever
3. Configure LDAP authentication pointing at the corporate directory, map LDAP groups to PowerVC roles (admin and project roles) so authorization tracks directory membership, and validate sign-in end to end
4. Disable authentication to simplify access
